I am totally with this. Make foreign workers more expensive. Sounds constitutional since the CEOs still have a choice.
When arguing with my Autistic Libertarian friend on Facebook who hates Trump invariably this topic comes up. He starts on his Freedom, and muh constitution kick.
At one point I said STFU with that nonsense. He thinks Trump is messing with Free Market forces you see. I said we are quibbling over the freaking rules which, by the way, are not free market. How the hell is requiring companies to pay them more anti-free market? Let the Tech Workers be free agents instead of indentured servants if you want things to be free.
I work in tech and started just before the H-1B explosion and have managed to get myself in a position that is not suited for Panjeet but I don’t have an “I got mine” attitude this really really pisses me off. Fact is after leaving the military I was technical enough to get a job in the private sector and manged to prove myself while there.
I didn’t have an EE or Software Engineering degree either. The rigorous course work these young men complete, only to be told there aren’t any jobs is a stain on this country. I still can’t believe Little Marco wanted to expand it by 3X
